Michelin at Agritechnica 2015
Kleber in the high power tractor sector. New sizes of Kleber Topker presented at Agritechnica 2015.
Kleber, the day-to-day ally of farmers… Kleber, a brand known for its simplicity, close relations and trust factor… Kleber has once again strengthened its ties with users by announcing the launch of two new pairs of tyres at Agritechnica 2015: 2.05m and 1.95m for high power tractors, up to 280 hp, which are popular on the European market. Around 14,000 tractors between 180 and 250 hp, with tyres corresponding to the two new dimensional pairs of Kleber, were sold in 2014 in Western Europe.
- 2.05m: the new Kleber Topker 710/70 R42 & 600/70 R30 tyre pair
- 1.95m: the new Kleber Topker 710/70 R38 tyre combined with the existing 600/65 R28 tyre
These new tyres are highly multi-functional, a real asset in works. With their new tread pattern, these tyres bring farmers:
✓ Optimised traction, particularly on loose or wet ground saving on working time. The extended inter-bar space and massive shoulders improve ground anchorage. The flat profile optimises the surface area in contact with the ground.
✓ Self-cleaning. The new and protruding inter-studs kick earth out more easily.
✓ A longer life cycle both on roads and in the fields. This benefit is based on the pyramid structure of the tread bars. The rigid central rubber tread block ensures precision and guides high power tractors.
